Hey guys and gals, another fresh episode of the podcast for you. I dig into the game Forgotten Kingdoms and offer my thoughts as a new player. I’ll have a more detailed breakdown of the review following this.

Thanks for taking a spin through the game. Thanks for doing this in general, too. Always encouraging to see life signs in this hobby, and things that might attract more, new people!

I disagree on the lack of nuance in warriors (yes, I am biased). Winning combat as a warrior can be as simple as being better prepared than the other PC, or being stronger than the NPC or mobile, but as the opponent’s challenge level rises then there are demands on strategic use of skills, strategic use of weapons, and timing of maneuvers.

Regarding your disagreement, do keep in mind that all of my reviews are from a new player’s point of view. I found that early on, it’s literally type in kill X and keep half an eye on the window while my character did his thing. Using skills seemed to hinder more than it helped from my point of view, so I didn’t bother.

That being said, I agree that endgame with how well the rest of the game seems put together, that strategic usage of things like bash and the like would be necessary. Just not at my low level point of view.
